Subject: [PATCH 4.9 79/83] mac80211: fix possible sta leak

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

commit 5fd2f91ad483baffdbe798f8a08f1b41442d1e24 upstream.

If TDLS station addition is rejected, the sta memory is leaked.
Avoid this by moving the check before the allocation.

Fixes: 7ed5285396c2 ("mac80211: don't initiate TDLS connection if station is not associated to AP")
